Estonia at the Forefront: Digitalisation and Defence

Maria Linntam, Estonian Ambassador to Germany, discusses her career, Estonia’s digital leadership, and security policies. Estonia pioneered digitalization, offering nearly all government services online. Cyber security is crucial, especially after Russian cyber-attacks in 2007. Estonia strongly supports Ukraine and sees NATO as essential for security. Relations with Germany are strong, based on shared values and cooperation. Linntam encourages young people, especially women, to pursue diplomacy with passion.
